appneation fusa August 5, 1924. serial No. 730,267.

T all whom t may concern.'

Be it known that 1, SEM RosnN'rr-IAL, a subject ot Great Britain,residing at New York city, in the county of New York and State of NewYork, have invented new and useful Improvements in Cabinets, of wnichthe following is a specitication..

rThis invention relates to cabinets and is an improvement over thecabinets shown in Patents Numbers 1,505,805 and 1,508,299 granted me onJaugust 19th, 192% and September 29th, 1924.

The principal object of the invention is toprovide a cabinet of the typeused by persons in subjecting their bodies to the action of hot air or`vapor, and which is formed ot a plurality otlr toldable and telescopingparts in a manner to permit the structure to be transported from placeto place and which may be stored in a. comparatively small space.

Another object is to provide a toldable bath cabinet which is simple inconstruction, cheap of manufacture and easy to set-up when collapsed.

lith these and other objects in view, the invention resides in certainnovel construction and combination and arrangement 01" parts, theessential features of which are hereinafter fully described, areparticularly pointed out in the appended claims, and are illustrated inthe accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of myimproved cabinet s-et-up tor use.

Figure 2 is a similar view showing the device in folded condition.

Figure 3 is a vertical longitudinal sectional view on the line 8 3 ofFigure 1.

Figure l is a 'fragmentary horizontal sectional view through the devicewhen in setup position.

Figure 5 is a perspective view ot a modiied form.

Figure 6 is a vertical sectional view through the form shown in Figure5.

Referring more particularly to the drawing, especially to Figures 1 to 4inclusive, there-terence numeral 10 designates my improved cabinet inits entirety and which includes a housing 11 into which the parts aboutto be. described are adapted to told when in collapsed condition. Thehousing is open at one side as at 12, and hinged to in horizontalalignment with the bottom of the housing to form a flooring for thestructure. rlhe top lwall oi the housing is formed with a relativelylarge opening 12 to permit the. head ot a` person to be extendedtherethrough. The housing 11 further includes outer side walls 15 andspaced inner side walls 16. An extension section 17 is supported by thehousing and includes side walls 18-18 and a front wall 19 having a door20 hingedly supported therefrom to permit ingress and egress to and fromthe interior of the cabinet. The side walls 18-18 telescope within thespace between the walls 15 and 16 of the housing when the cabinet is incollapsed condition, and Jfor limiting the outward movement of thesection with respect to the. housing, I provide the walls 18-18 withinwardly'projectingpins 21, which enter slots 22 in the inner wall 16.The outer closed end of the slot prevents the section from beingdiscngaged from the housing while being extended. In order tofacilitate` the sliding movement of the section 17 with respect to thehousing, I mount the section upon rollers 23, which are disposed inbifurcations formed in the bottom ot' the side walls. lVhen in extendedcondition, the section 17 rides on to the bottom extension 14. Thebottom extension 111 has side flanges 24 on the opposite side edgesthereof which serve to prevent lateral movement of the section whensliding in either direction.

To seal the open space between the top of the housing in the front wallof the section 17, there is provide-d a. pair ot cover sections 25,tormed of hingedly connected plates 26 and 27. The plates 26 are pivotedupon the top of the housing as at 28 and are cut-away as at 29 so as totit snugly about the neck to seal the opening 12 when the device is inuse. The walls of the housing 11 and the section 17 are provided withvertical rows ot electric light bulbs which are adapted to furnish theheat for the cabinet when the same is used for subjecting the body tohot air. It' desired, vapor may be introduced into the cabinet when itis desired to apply vapor to the body.

l/Vhen the parts are in collapsed condition, the section 17 telescopeswithin the housing so that the front wall 19 is iush with the Open endof the housing, after which the bottom 14C is swung up against the wall19 and fastened thereagainst by a means 30.

It is, of course, understood that the plates 27 are folded over theplates 26, after which the entire section is swung about the pivot 28,so that the sections'lie within the width of the housing. IVhen in thisposition, the cabinet may be stored in a small space or may beconvenient for transportation purposes. In Figures 5 and 6, there isshown a r4slightmodification wherein the .cabinetmay ,be folded in amore compactI manner.V In this form, the numeral 32 designates a housingand 33 the extension section which in-V cludes an end section 34e and anintermediate .section 35 andan extension bottom 86 similar tothe bottom14 of the preferred form. A head opening 87 is provided and covers 38similar to the covers 25 of the preferred 'form are employed forspanning the space between the housing and the sections 34 and The partsfold in the same manner as those of the preferred form with theexception of thel intermediate section 35, which section permits theparts to fold in a housing of a less width. Electric light bulbs 33 arecarried by the wallsrof the cabinet to supply the necessary heat..

' That is claimed as new is v j1.A cabinet vcomprising a housing open atone side and having a head opening formed in a top wall thereof, anextension bottoni'hingedly connected to said housing,
